So it has been almost a 3 – 4 weeks of using my new mac.  I love this thing, it’s bliss!  

It’s been a while since I blew a whole lot of cash on computer hardware.  I have to admit that I like to do a lot of research before whole-heartedly jumping into such a purchase.  In addition to that, there must be some cash to be had just so such an exchange can happen.Well, for the past year or so, I’ve been quietly squirreling some money away so that one day I could make such a purchase.  This past Friday was the day or reckoning for my money as I purchased a brand new MacBook Pro 15″.  This thing, quite frankly, is a work of art.  It’s solid and perfect!  I haven’t found a flaw with anything yet. See, that’s why I keep coming back to Apple.  Every once in a while they stumble…but give them some time and they’ll turn out a great product.   

Mac Rumors.com: Apple iPhone to be Released on June 11th?

Mac Rumors:
CNet’s Gadgest Blog claims that Cingular has confirmed the release date of the Apple iPhone. Now Cingular is confirming that the release date will be June 11th.

I think it would be awesome to get one of these phones…only because I’m a gadget freak when it comes to cool little toys. The only caveat to the whole thing is Cingular is serving up the contract…and I’m with Verizon! Oh well, maybe someday Verizon will pick up the iPhone and all it’s cool details.

For those of you who haven’t seen the iPhone, check out the video:

There are times that I wish I would have invested massive amounts of money into Apple computer. I guess that’s the way things are with many people who invest–they wish that they could have done something in the past now knowing the future. The stock has grown so much in the past few months and confidence still remains high with the company.

Apple computer did their quarterly thing today with new updates to product lines and removal of old trinkets. A lot of the removal, which subjected the Powerbook line to a name change and product line change, I don’t agree with. Many people like the past Apple products. Take the eBay/iPod Mini inflation on ebay (story)–many of these older products are selling for almost $75.00 more than their original list price (of $199.00)…insane! Back to the name change, the new laptop line from Apple is now called MacBook Pro — a change from the original name of Powerbook. This product change now, though, is a definite step in the right direction. These new laptops are rigged with the best in hardware (*whisper* they’re now supporting two processors!).

So, even though Apple is one to quickly change their product line up, I’m fully confident that they know what they’re doing. In fact, I have no doubts–I just miss some of the old hardware they had. Hey, maybe my current laptop (a 12″ Powerbook) will sell for much higher than it was originally purchased (~$1500.00).
